Críticas

A fascintaing book; never before has such a range of firsthad experiences of the Rising been coolated and analysed. Ryan has succeeded in illuminating the sheer diversity of human experiences in 1916 and in particular has highlighted the role of women in the Rising. --Dr Diarmaid Ferriter, Village magazine

An intriguing survey of a fascinating and historically important archive; a real eye opener. --Prof Tom Garvin, Irish Review of Books

Reseña del editor

In its judicious use of the statements given by the foot-soldiers and second-line participants in the Easter Rising, the book provides a unique perspective on the events of Easter 1916. From the volunteers walking the Royal canal from Meath to fight in Dublin, to the women fighting, smuggling guns and cooking for the insurgents in the G.P.O, Witnesses puts the reader next to taking part in this pivotal event in modern Irish history. Insights into controversial matters such as the decision to countermand the order for the Rising on its eve, the so-called "Castle document", as well as the personal affections and jealousies of those involved, are all discussed in detail. Above all the book is told in a warm readable way. The book will feature an introduction by well-known historian and author Dr.Margaret McCurtain.
